    Cooper, Robertson & Partners' Master Plan for the Central Delaware has been honored with a 2012 AIA Institute Honor Award for Regional and Urban Design. As described by the Jury, "[The master plan] is a very bold, long term vision. The project demonstrates great connectivity back into the neighborhood fabric, integrating both existing buildings, developed open spaces, and the esplanade walk. A good range of density has been represented, particularly along the river, and this plan has transformed the city in a substantial way." The plan for 6 miles of the Delaware Riverfront in Center City Philadelphia provides a practical implementation strategy for the phasing and funding of public enhancements to the waterfront, including locating parks, waterfront trails, and connections to existing neighborhoods.

Cooper, Robertson's Master Plan for Battery Park City, adopted in 1979, has facilitated the private development of 9.3 million square feet of commercial space, 7.2 million square feet of residential space, and nearly 36 acres of open space in lower Manhattan, becoming a model for successful large-scale planning and marking a positive shift away from the urban renewal mind-set of the time.
